BOSSIER PARISH, La. — The Bossier Parish Police Jury approved a series of measures April 1 aimed at strengthening infrastructure, supporting residential growth and improving long-term public services.
As part of efforts to enhance roadway maintenance, the Police Jury authorized the purchase of two pieces of equipment for the parish Highway Department. A shouldering machine will be supplied by Covington Sales and Service, while a motorized broom will be provided by Scott Equipment. Officials said the additions are expected to improve shoulder maintenance, drainage efficiency and roadway safety.
The governing body also adopted two ordinances amending provisions in Chapter 122, Article III of the parish code related to sewerage districts. The updates affect Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 1 and No. 2 and are intended to clarify governance, streamline operations and improve service delivery.
In planning for continued residential development, the Police Jury scheduled public hearings for May 6, 2026, to consider two proposed subdivision projects. The Parc Subdivision, Unit No. 1, spans nearly 29 acres, while the Culpepper Subdivision covers approximately 55 acres.
Additionally, the Police Jury voted to accept streets and drainage infrastructure in Hunter’s Crossing, Unit No. 1, into the parish road system for ongoing maintenance. The move transfers responsibility for long-term upkeep to the parish and is intended to support infrastructure reliability for residents.
“These actions collectively reflect our commitment to investing in infrastructure, planning for growth, and maintaining the quality of life our residents expect,” Parish Administrator Dr. Ken Ward said following the meeting.
The Police Jury said it will continue to focus on infrastructure investment, managed development and long-term planning as the parish grows.
